Next Steps After Admission
Once admitted into your program, you will follow a specific course sequence of Education and LBS courses (years 3 and 4). The Department of Curriculum and Learning has created gate maps for each of our program to guide you through a sequence of courses, each building your funds of knowledge of pedagogy, praxis and application (fieldwork and student teaching).
To help conceptualize your academic trajectory within our Education Program, please view the academic map for your program. Created by the Registrar, academic maps are intended to guide you by suggesting courses in sequence on a semester-by-semester basis.
